We’re working to release withheld BECE results – WAEC

Candidates who took the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) will soon be able to access their pending results, according to a statement released by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).

The results of 33 school candidates and three private applicants have been withheld, according to a statement released by WAEC. Additionally, because of reported discrepancies, some subject results from candidates in 149 schools are presently being reviewed.

WAEC's Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, stressed that parents and guardians must exercise patience while the results are being processed.

“The pending is a result of some mistakes made by our supervisors and the candidates who did not follow instructions. So you would have, for example, maybe your music script is found where the music examiner has marked the music bit, but then the design bit of it cannot be marked by the same examiner.

“So we will want to appeal to parents and guardians to exercise restraint because certainly we had our people working throughout the night and hopefully we would have those results released.”
